The Grotta del Carmine represents another pearl of the natural beauty that this beautiful land called Salento offers to the many tourists who every summer decide to spend part of their time in this remote corner of Apulia. The Grotta del Carmine is located in Marina Porto, a small hamlet in the municipality of Tricase in the province of Lecce; the surrounding landscape offers a spectacular panorama with the green of the Mediterranean maquis covering most of the promontories that end directly in the sea. The view is spectacular along this stretch of coastline characterised by low cliffs and hidden inlets waiting to be discovered. Completing this marvellous setting is a crystal-clear blue sea with a seabed rich in marine fauna and attractive plays of light filtering through the various crevices between the rocks. It may be a little difficult to find a parking space, given the tiny hamlet of this beautiful Salento community. However, the Grotta del Carmine is easily accessible, and once inside, you will feel as if you have been ravished by time; the deep blue of the waters reflected inside the cave conveys emotions that cannot be described in words, an unusual silence surrounds much of this sea cavity, and a sense of peace and tranquillity characterises a unique experience that should be experienced first-hand to appreciate certain sensations. The Grotta del Carmine is a natural beauty of great respect, both for the simplicity with which it presents itself and for the surrounding landscape that blends with the various colours that nature so generously dispenses. Welcome to Salento and have a good summer from Marina Porto di Tricase.
